I am so EXCITED about this post because it’s about a pencil sharpener. Yes, you read that correctly. So, what’s the big deal? Well, as you know I have two budding artist in my household plus a niece and nephew who love to write and draw as well. A good sharpener is a must have! Enter the Classroom Friendly Pencil Sharpener, which I received the opportunity to test out and share my review with you guys.

The Classroom Friendly Sharpener is owned and operated by an elementary school teacher so they know first hand how important a good sharpener is.

I followed the instructions provided on the online store website and within seconds had a wonderful sharpened pencil. Check out my results:

Bring the silver face of the sharpener forward until it clicks into place. Then pinch the two black knobs on the top together and slide the pencil into the sharpener. You don’t have to hold onto the pencil. Finally turn the handle (not shown in this picture, but there’s a picture below where you can see the handle) clockwise and sharpen away. Pinch the two black knobs to release the pencil.

It doesn’t get any better than that. Look at that point. Perfection and easy! Also the Classroom Friendly Sharpener is much quieter than my electric sharpener, which by the way I haven’t used since getting this one! 🙂

Now let’s try a color pencil:

Brilliant! I’m very impressed with this machine!

The compartment that holds the pencil shavings is easy to remove and clean out!

Needless to say my girls (ages 6 and 9) went crazy when they came home and saw their brand new sharpener. They went searching for all the pencils that needed to be sharpened and were so impressed with how easy it was to use the sharpener and amazed with the final results.

As you can see in the above picture the Classroom Friendly Sharpener has a handle that you turn clockwise to do the sharpening and it can be mounted for a permanent spot (mounts are available for purchase in the online store).

A pencil sharpener is an essential tool for learning so this sharpener would be a great gift for teachers, schools, friends and family members. You can even buy them in bundle specials in the online store and donate them! 🙂
